看生活大爆炸学英语第一季第九集
【剧情介绍】
Sheldon和Leonard在主题会议上吵起来,看看两个物理学怪才吵架是怎样的?
SHELDON: Dr. Sheldon Cooper here. I am the lead author of this particular paper. Thank you. And you, sir, you have completely skipped over the part where I was walking through the park and I saw these children on a merry-go-round which started me thinking about the moment of inertia in gasses like helium at temperatures approaching absolute zero.
LEONARD: I didn't skip it. It's just an anecdote. It's not science.
SHELDON: Oh, I see. It was the apple falling on Newton's head. Was that just an anecdote?
LEONARD: You are not lsaac Newton.
SHELDON: No, no, that's true. Gravity would have been apparent to me without the apple.
LEONARD: You cannot possible be that arrogant.
SHELDON: You continue to underestimate me, my good man.
LEONARD: If you weren't happy with my presentation, then maybe you should've given it with me.
SHELDON: As I've explained repeatedly, unlike you, I don't need validation from lesser minds. No offense.
LEONARD: Really? So why did you come?
SHELDON: Because I knew you'd screw this up.
LEONARD: I didn't screw it up.
SHELDON: Oh, please. I admit, that spherical-chicken joke was hilarious.
LEONARD: Thank you.
SHELDON: lt was straight downhill from there.
LEONARD: I've had enough of your condescension. Maybe I didn't go to college when I was 1 1, like you. Maybe I got my doctorate at 24 instead of 1 6. But you are not the only person who is smarter than everyone else in this room. No offense. And I am clearly not the only person who is tormented by insecurity and has an ego in need of constant validation.
SHELDON: So you admit you're an egotist.
LEONARD: Yes.
